The messaging service has partnered with Debrett's, a world-renowned authority on etiquette training that boasts a heritage of 250 years.

“Communication in the digital age is easier and quicker than ever, but has etiquette evolved at the same pace? How do you exit a group chat and not cause offense? Is it acceptable to share humorous content with your colleagues? How long should you wait before chasing someone for a response?” Katherine Lewis, Debrett’s Etiquette Expert says.

“We are delighted to work with Messenger from Facebook on a definitive guide to communication in the era of digital messaging, which was informed by extensive research as well as our 250 years of expertise in courteous and considerate communication.”
